Questions & Answers

Is this a genuine original part?

This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement part from 4Drive, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for fitment and performance.

How do I know if it is compatible?

Check the "OEM Cross Reference" list. If your original part number or the number on your starter matches any listed above (e.g., AM108615 or 21163-2147), this part is a guaranteed fit.

What if my starter has 10 teeth instead of 9?

This specific bendix is for the 9-tooth CCW application. While some Kohler starters use a 10-tooth gear, the Kawasaki FD engines typically utilize this 9-tooth variant. Please count your original teeth before ordering if you are unsure.

Note: Please verify your original part number against the references above at 4drive.co.uk before purchasing.
